Vehicle Description
Absolutely amazing 44K original mile celebrity owned former museum
Jaguar XJ6 Series III Sedan finished in nearly flawless Black paint
with incredible condition Biscuit Leather interior. Originally sold
to the Hollywood giant actor-director Carl Reiner by the very first
Jaguar dealership in the USA, Charles Hornburg Jr Imported Motor
Cars of Los Angeles, CA (Charles Hornburg brought the Jaguar brand
to the US in 1948). It was delivered to Mr. Reiner on December 21st
1985 (a possible Christmas gift to his wife Estelle?) who was
living in the Beverly Hills Flats on Rodeo Dr at the time. The car
remained in Southern California where it was eventually sold to a
collector's private museum where it remained until 2013 when it was
purchased with just 18,000 original miles by the previous owner
collector car enthusiast here in OH who has driven the car
sparingly in fair weather otherwise keeping the car tucked in the
garage and keeping it well maintained until he sold the car to us
with the now 44K miles on the odometer. We have since done a
complete sorting of the car including a fresh multi-stage full
repaint with glass trim removal done by a local classic car
restoration specialist and new headliner, as well as a full sorting
of all mechanicals including new steering rack bushings, water
pump, cooling system service, fluid changes and more. Additionally
the car has had all tires replaced, brakes, HVAC system service,
and more. The car runs and drives great and is more than just a
show piece, but a capable driver as well with all major functions
in proper working order, including the factory radio and power
antenna, power sunroof, windows, etc. The original spare wheel and
Pirelli P5 tire are present as well as the original tool kit,
original window sticker, Books, Manuals, Cassette cleaning kit, and
original service booklet showing Mr. Reiner and his wife as the
original registered owners. The car also comes complete with the
indoor car cover and duster from the previous owner. It also has a
nice set of new Lloyd plush custom mats installed over the original
carpets which are in excellent condition. The underbody of the car
is in amazing condition with no signs of major rust or corrosion as
you can see in the array of detailed photos. Truly a one-of-one
vehicle, a true classic in its own right, in a beautiful color
combination, with incredible history and celebrity ownership,
available for the next steward to carry on its careful ownership.
